[Comprehensive wear] Baiwei life

To some extent, the emperor's internal treasury and the national treasury are connected. The emperor will take out things from the internal treasury to supplement the treasury. Similarly, when the internal treasury is empty, the treasury has to be used.

But what is the situation now, so many ministers have borrowed the silver from the treasury over the years and have not returned it. My son still took the lead in not repaying it.

Kangxi was furious, and ordered to arrest this little thief with all his strength, but he also knew that it would be very difficult for the officers and soldiers to catch him if he could complete the case. The ability to take everything away without realizing it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The things in his inner treasury, together with the belongings lost by the fourth concubine, piled up as high as a small mountain. The palace was full of people, and the treasury was counted every day. All these things disappeared overnight. The screwdriver servant didn't even notice it, it was like a fairy tale.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the possibility of infidelity, but no matter how intriguing it is, the thief can't have an infidelity with half of the servants in the palace, otherwise, how can so many things be transported out.

The person in charge of guarding the warehouse naturally had to interrogate them carefully, but nothing could be found after a few days of interrogation.

There was no person involved in the affair, no evidence was left at the scene, and there was no trace of those properties on the market at all, as if they had really evaporated from the sky and the earth.

Kangxi didn't believe in ghosts, so he could only say that this thief had some unusual means, except for people to stare at the market and pay more attention to the traces of those belongings. He, an emperor, really has nothing to do with this thief.

The inner treasury is empty, and the national treasury is like this again. Kangxi has become cruel this time. The expenditure in the palace can hardly be maintained. Why do his courtiers not pay their debts and still eat at home? delicious.

Under the sun, there is no such reason.

It is not an easy task to get all the money back just by relying on the fourth one alone. Kangxi didn't want to tear his face before, so he let the fourth brother slowly grind with these people. No matter what, I can get some of it back.

But now, it's not enough to just get back part of it. It's only natural to pay back the debt. After so many years of lending out the money, it's time to pay it back. He doesn't want a penny of interest.

When the money is shy, Kangxi doesn't care about any face or face, and he will not be like the fourth child, who has to weigh in advance who will be the first to get the knife. For him, the knife he swung down should be fast enough and hard enough. .

Therefore, this knife is swung at all those who owe money to the Ministry of Households, no matter if it is the prince or elder brother, or civil and military officials, no matter if it is his mother's family, wife's family, or his humerus minister. Get up quickly and don't recognize people.

Within ten days, all debtors must pay back the silver taels. If the cash is not enough, then use assets to pay for it. Anyway, his ministers mostly have fertile land, and most of them are shops and Zhuangzi.

Maybe these people bought the silver taels borrowed from the Ministry of Households into fertile fields, shops and Zhuangzi. The harvest in these years is unknown. up.

The theft of the emperor's internal treasury was known to everyone in the civil and military courts, and it was not something that could be concealed, not to mention that the emperor did not order it to be concealed.

As for the miraculous thief, it has been spread from the upper circles to the common people, who can steal the property of the palace without anyone noticing, and let those things disappear, like a magic trick to disappear , which is enough to arouse people's curiosity.

With the emperor's power and low pressure, no one dared to make fun of his own life, let alone his own future.

In the past, the princes and elder brothers stood in front of them, and the three biggest forces didn't want to hand over their money, so the rest of them naturally had nothing to fear.

But it’s different now. When the emperor got angry, no matter if it was the prince, or the king of Zhijun and Babeile, his legs were weak, and he immediately began to count the silver and assets. Bafujin even took out part of the dowry to make up for the holes.

The prince fell first, and the people behind naturally didn't have the guts to hold on. Just kidding, the poor on the emperor's side are almost out of control, how dare they not pay back the money.

The fourth master and Lin Ze basically have to stay in the household department until night before going home. There are too many people who can’t come to pay back the money. These old accounts, earlier, the household department It has been sorted out, and it doesn't take much effort to find the accounts. It is a bit of work to count the silver and assets.

Especially for those who use assets to pay off debts, if it is said that it is [-] mu of fertile land, then it has to be paid according to the market price. Whether it is fertile land and whether the [-] mu is enough, you have to send someone to measure it on the spot. The same goes for the shop.

So this is not an easy job at all, but compared with the previous door-to-door debt collection, counting money is more refreshing.

However, Sibeile, who worked hard, didn't leave any bad reputation here, but he also didn't leave any good reputation. On the contrary, it was Babeile, who insisted on repaying debts to earn a wave of reputation points. .

Didn't you see that Bafujin took out part of the dowry? This loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the sun and the moon are shining, and the world can learn from it.

No one else could compare to Babeile, the crown prince owed the most money, but he insisted on repaying all the silver owed without using the crown princess's dowry.

What does that mean? It's not that the crown prince is capable of repaying the owed money, but the crown prince is not willing to do so when the emperor is not impatient.

Babeile is different. If he didn't pay it back before, it means he really didn't have that much extra money. Now the emperor can't wait to take out Fujin's dowry and pay back the money owed by the Ministry of Households.

Well, eating soft rice has become a moral model.

Lin Ze really thinks that his eighth uncle, if he is placed in later generations, he will definitely be an outstanding agent, or he can do public relations for the company. This ability to control public opinion... is simply, he has never seen him Uncle is more awesome.

However, these civil and military officials are also mixed officials, and many of them are old foxes. How can they praise Ba Shu like this with their eyes closed.

Lin Ze felt aggrieved on behalf of his family Ama. It was his Ama who was suffering and suffering. During these days, he hadn't been able to sleep well, nor had he been able to eat steadily. He had lost a lot of weight.

At the end of the day, the eighth uncle, who had been a stumbling block before, became a hero praised by everyone.

Not to mention anything else, the fifth uncle, the seventh uncle, and the thirteenth uncle paid back the money they owed early. Who is no better than the eighth uncle? Sometimes, Fujin's dowry has to be used to pay for it. For such a coquettish operation, it is good not to be scolded, so it is not worthy of praise.

The fourth master is quite open about this matter. Honghui has just entered the imperial court, and he has just dealt with the old eighth, so he is different. Serving in the court, it is not uncommon to deal with the old eight.

This is not the first time that something like this has happened. The old man is used to buying people's hearts, otherwise he would not have poached the corner of Zhijun Wang, and he had dug out the core of Zhijun Wang's faction.

But a person who digs someone's corner has a good reputation both inside and outside the government and the public, but the person who is poached has a bad reputation.

So he had already looked away. If he was angry because of such a thing, he would have been pissed off by the old eight.

But even if he wasn't very angry, the fourth master had more and more opinions on Lao Ba in his heart, and he wrote down everything in the small ledger, and there was always a time to settle accounts.

When all the money owed by the Ministry of Accounts is collected, Lin Ze can be regarded as a firm foothold in the Ministry of Accounts. This is not obtained by Ama and his grandfather, but by his own true ability.

Ministers who have worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, and people who have been admitted to official positions through the imperial examinations, their calculations are not as neat and accurate as him.

The fourth master had great expectations for this son. Before he had the intention of seizing the heir, this was his eldest son, and the title in the future would definitely be inherited by the eldest son. Of course, he had to cultivate it well.

After having the idea of ​​seizing the heir, among the few children, Hong Hui is the most suitable candidate in terms of status, talent, and temperament, so it is even more important to train them well, and set higher standards to demand this child. son.

Fortunately, instead of disappointing him, Honghui would surprise him from time to time.

If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?

Also being a parent, Empress Concubine De has been in a rather unhappy mood during this period of time. Originally, she had climbed from a court lady to the seat of fourth concubine. Logically speaking, she should have no dissatisfaction, but it was probably these years. I am used to going smoothly, but after experiencing such a sudden incident, my heart can't be relieved.

Compared with the other three concubines, she had the most stolen property. Some of these things were sent by people in the family, but most of them were gifts from the emperor.

She herself was reluctant to use it on weekdays, and the little thief who had suffered thousands of knives was stolen away. She took whatever was good or expensive, and what was left was some inconspicuous things besides some lingering cloth. Not to mention all the medicinal materials, good old medicinal materials were taken away, even the gold and silver scorpions that she usually used to reward servants were taken away by this little thief.

She doesn't even have anything to reward her servants now, as for the two sons under his knees, it really doesn't matter.

The old 14 was young and didn't think about things carefully. In addition, in order to repay the debt owed by the household department, the child paid off the debts of the two shops she gave, so there is no money and things in hand to support her mother.

But this child has filial piety and knows to come to the palace to comfort her, the mother-in-law.

As for the fourth child, he has been out of the palace for so long, and he doesn't owe much money to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The most important thing is that all the private houses of Empress Xiao Yiren were left to the fourth child. With so many things, who is poor? nor poor.

Now that her mother-in-law has been thieves, what's the use of sending some fabrics and jewelry, and there are not many fabrics and jewelry, she doesn't believe that the fourth and fourth couple don't know how much money is needed in the palace place.

It's really black hearted, it's not good if it's not raised by myself, and I don't have that kind of filial piety towards her.

The concubine de concubine wished she could stab two villains, one to curse the little thief who had suffered a thousand knives, and the other to curse his cold-faced and cold-hearted elder son.

To be honest, it would be nice to be able to send something to Er Niang in the palace, after all, once the debt owed by the household department is repaid, no one's life will be easy.

But the other three concubines are not as unlucky as the concubine De. Those three didn't lose much, and they can still use their surplus money to support their sons.

The concubine de concubine really can't afford the money, and even the silver taels to reward the servants can only wait for her share to be issued. If she had not had two sons by her side and was one of the four concubines, this would have been the case. How bitter the days will be, of course, compared with before, it is also a bitter life.

Lin Ze can be said to have made a huge windfall this time. Although these things are unlikely to be used in this life, they will be used sooner or later. up.
